Micheline

Micheline is a stationary boutique in Mexico dedicated to designing and printing stationery and pieces for social events. The redesign of their brand by Anagrama caught my eye because it is based almost entirely on a theme of black and white, with a contrasting splash of colour in the form of their catalogues. Above are examples of the monochrome packaging wrapped with their printed tape and logo stamped labels, one a single stylised M, the other the complete Micheline name. And below are the elements that make up this packaging.

A hint of colour appeared on the grand opening invitation, and then the catalogues in the boutique itself provide a rainbow of striking colours, along with some of the products themselves.

 

 

Mibostudio

I recently discovered the Etsy shop Mibostudio. I just love their motley crew of make-it-yourself paper animals, pictured above and below. Mibostudio is the papercraft department of the British design company Mibo, founded by designer Madeleine Rogers and based in Brighton. You can purchase these lovely creations as a pdf file, which contains the templates for your chosen set of animals. The pdf is sent to you via your Paypal email address and then you can get printing, cutting, and gluing!
